   I am experiencing the same difficulty. Would you help me as well? My email is [email protected]. I have been with the VA for 4 years and work in UM - similar to UR but no insurance. I have had four bosses in the past three years and my current boss...

   Some of the comments are the exact reason why I have never posted. Why take things to an extreme? The point was UNIFORMITY and that there is a standard set my the ANCC - nothing more. Please stop shooting the messenger. My OP was written to help the ...

   Hmm...that's interesting. That's not what we were told. I wonder if Nebraska is different or if it's just a facility thing. I have friends that have been told you have X number of years to get your BSN or you are out of a job.

   I am quite pleasant to work with as well and most nurses I bring this up to (after we have become friends) are VERY appreciative. They weren't aware of the recommendations (which always surprises me a little as my nursing program taught us proper sig...

   The point of this thread was just to get us all on the same page as to the CORRECT way to display your credentials IF you choose to display them (or if the organization you work for requires it.) It's the professional thing to do.

    While I agree that the pay is the same and the crux of nursing classes is in the first 2 years (associate degree), I have been asked about my BSN. I would also add that getting my BSN opened up both doors as my organization and improved my nursing pr...

    It was explained to me that MSN's fulfill the BSN requirement along the way of their graduate degree, so their is no need to be awarded the BSN. MSN is still the higher educational credential than an BSN and their is no need for one that did earn bot...

    You are correct. There are RNs that go the RN to MSN route. (I was originally one and money made me change). Here in Nebraska I was told that I would fulfill the BSN requirement along the way but it would not be necessary to be awarded the diploma si...

    That is funny. I don't write all mine out either. It would take too long! When I sign charts it is simply "Initials, LastName, RN". My badge and email signature lists 2 degrees (I have 5: 2 bachelor's degrees, 2 associates, and one Master's), and m...

    Evidence based research has shown the BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) prepared nurses have better patient outcomes than Associate degreed nurses. This is the primary reason many hospitals are pushing their Registered Nurses to get their BSN. BSN...
